Here it is, chapter 4. I've got a few oh so subtle hints that I should update real soon, so here we are.
Miguel sat in silence long after Spencer hadfinished retelling him everything he knows, and what he knows is completely and utterly shocking.
Pregnant?
Kai was pregnant?
He was well aware that Spencer was watching him silently, waiting for a response other than completely bewilderment. He wasn't completely sure of what to do other then let it sink in for a moment. What if he faints too?
"Kai is pregnant?" Miguel asked, his voice holding this shock, curious and complete and utter wonder to it.
"Yes." Spencer replied slowly.
Pregnant?
But that's not possible, right? Males can't become pregnant. Where would the baby grow and develop? Not to mention how would it be delivered…
"Is he all right? It's not going to hurt him, is it?" Miguel asked, his eyes instantly falling onto the form of his lover who was laying on their bed in a fitful sleep. "What's going to happen to him?"
Spencer inwardly smiled at the concern the blond was showing before him. He obviously loves Kai with all his heart, so why should a little thing like Kai becoming pregnant change any of that?
"I don't know." Spencer replied. "I've never encountered anything like this before. It shouldn't be too painful and rest assured, I'll do everything in my power to make sure this goes a smoothly as close work. That is if you want to keep the baby."
"What?" Miguel asked, startled.
Spencer said nothing in response, leaving the question to hang there. Miguel gazed blankly at the floor, still trying to take all of this in.
The love of his life was experimented on when he was younger, giving him the ability to give birth, not sure if it's a one off thing, or if they could give this child siblings to play with.
It suddenly struck him. Kai was carrying his baby. THEIR baby. He was going to be a father.
"Miguel?" Spencer asked, snapping him from his musings.
Miguel turned his blue eyes to Spencer and smiled at him. "I'm going to be a father, aren't I?"
Spencer blinked, then returned the smile. "Yes, you and Kai are going to be parents."
Miguel rose from his seat and sat on the edge of his bed, smiling lovingly down at Kai, running his fingers through his hair. "Kai is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He has given me love, understanding, companionship and now he's giving me the chance to be a father. He has done so much for me that I'll never be able to thank him."
Spencer's smile widen, feeling joyous that Kai was able to find such a loving and understanding person. "Tell him." He said before climbing to his feet and left the couple alone.
Miguel was faintly aware that Spencer had left, as he continued to run his fingers through Kai's long silken hair. He suddenly felt Kai shift and emit a soft murmur.
"Miguel?" Kai whispered as he slowly sat up.
Miguel nodded and wrapped an arm around his shoulders as support. "Hey, how are you feeling?"
"Dizzy." Kai whispered in response. Suddenly his eyes widen and he turned to Miguel, looking frighten. "Do you know?"
"Yes." Miguel replied. He wanted to say more but Kai tried to remove himself from his grip.
"I'm a freak, aren't I?" He said. "Oh God, I'm so sorry. You could do so much better-"
Kai was cut off however when Miguel tugged on his arm, making him fall into his lap. Instantly he wrapped his arms around Kai's slender frame, holding him close. "I love you."
"Miguel?"
"You're a beautiful and intelligent human being." He continued. "You've gave me so much and now we're going to have a child together, do you have any idea how happy that makes me feel?"
Kai gasped. "You…? You don't mind?"
"Why would I?" Miguel asked, nuzzling Kai's neck. "I've found my soul mate, my freedom, my happiness and now I'm going to become a parent with the hottest thing since fire. Could things get any better?"
Kai blinked a few times. Slowly he realized that Miguel isn't going to leave him. In fact, he was actually happy that he was pregnant. Kai sighed and sunk back into Miguel's tender embrace, his hands resting on his abdomen. It was hard to believe that he has a life growing inside of him.
He suddenly felt giddy and snuggled further into the embrace. He was going to bring a life into this world, a life that both he and Miguel contributed to.
"You know?" Miguel whispered. "This is so typical of you."
"What is?" Kai asked, turning to look into his lover's eyes.
"The only time you'll gain any weight is for the benefit of another."
Kai laughed softly, then yawned sleepily. The stress of the last hour was catching up to him. Miguel noticed and laid him down on the bed. Kai laid his head on the pillows, letting Miguel rest his head on his chest, his hand resting protectively over Kai's stomach.
"This apartment won't be big enough, we'll have to find another place."
"We'll just move into one of my manors. I usually find them too big, but now-"
"We'll just have to fill it up." Miguel replied, cheekily, causing Kai to laugh.
"Now now, one at a time, Miguel." Kai smiled as Miguel begin to slowly rub his stomach. He knows that with all his heart he has found true happiness.
Miguel will make a great father.
…If that doesn't make you turn to mush, nothing will.
Miguel: Oh good, I thought you were going to be evil and make me leave.
I didn't have the guts. You two are just so cute together. (Starts squealing again)
